Ever since Ning Yuji severely punished the four major grain merchants, the common people were worried, fearing that the capital would run out of rice one day, the court would be unable to provide relief, and the price of rice would hit a new high.After all, transporting grain from the south, not to mention thousands of miles, may cause serious damage to the grain.Far water can't solve near fire at all.

But to everyone's surprise, the price of grain at Datong Rice Shop has always remained at three cents a bucket!There is even a signboard, which states that if someone is willing to donate old clothes, quilts, etc., they can receive a bucket of rice for free.If someone is willing to take in the victims or provide vacant houses, not only can they receive a bonus from the household department, but they can also receive three buckets of rice for free at the Datong Rice Shop.

Before the sky-high food price, Datong Rice Shop actually put forward such an attractive condition!

In order to prevent the spread of the disease, Ning Yuji also set up a six-disease clinic in the capital according to Ning Yuyao's instructions, recruiting doctors to treat the seriously ill victims for free, and even donated several other hospitals of Ning's family to let the victims They have a place to stay.

And Ning Yuyao and Huo Hanyan also held a banquet to attract noble ladies and noble ladies in the capital to donate money and goods. Naturally, the financial resources of the women in the back house should not be underestimated. They also contributed a lot to this disaster relief and won a lot of good reputation. .

After the drought and locust plagues were settled slowly and properly, Ning Yuji was also promoted and became the youngest servant of the household department from the fourth rank.

The next day, Ning Yuyao's life is quite regular now. In the morning, she embroiders and practices the piano to adjust her temperament. She occasionally chats with Huo Hanyan, a best friend and sister-in-law, sipping tea and playing the piano. In the afternoon, she learns housekeeping from Hui Niang. After all, Ning Yuyao will Married, and from a family as high as the Prince's Mansion, it's okay to know how to housekeeper, and when the time comes to take charge of a mansion, if the servants fool him, it will cause a big mess.

"Liu Mama, take out the two crystal walkers I ordered some time ago, the headgear like crystal is suitable for such a fresh and tender girl." Hui Niang ordered.

Nanny Liu is the foster mother arranged by the Queen Mother, just to be able to help Hui Niang.

Mammy Liu put the Bu Yao out of the box and showed it to Hui Niang. Hui Niang took the box, took out the Bu Yao and put it on Ning Yuyao's right side, and took out another one and put it on Huo Hanyan's bun.

Because the crystal is transparent, and Ning Yuyao is wearing a fairy dress today, which matches her dress very well, Hui Niang smiled and asked the maid to bring a bronze mirror to show Ning Yuyao and Huo Hanyan.

Although Huo Hanyan is just a daughter-in-law, Hui Niang is not like a wicked mother-in-law, so she simply raised Huo Hanyan as her daughter. Anyway, when Ning Yuyao gets married, she doesn't know how reluctant she will be.

"It's costing my mother again." Although the Ning family is very good, Huo Hanyan, as a daughter-in-law, still pays attention to the rules all the time. Yao took her side to study with her. Even so, all her jewelry was made and fixed every month, and only the elders rewarded her. Except for the monthly six taels, there were six sets of clothes, and Two sets of jewelry, for girls like them, the jewelry basically needs to be branded new every month, otherwise they will be laughed at if they wear those sets all the time. It's okay to call once a quarter, anyway, girls' jewelry is indispensable, and so are clothes.

"I like to dress up a little girl like you. It makes people feel comfortable." Hui Niang nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, jewelry made of crystal is suitable for teenage girls. It's just a joke.

"Yan'er, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ning family, the Ning family will be handed over to you in the future." Hui Niang said, "And Yaoyao, you will inevitably have these troubles after you get married."

Huo Hanyan and Ning Yuyao looked at each other, nodded slightly, and the crystal beads flickered in step with their movements, it was really pretty.

After chatting for a while, Hui Niang asked Ning Yuyao and Huo Hanyan to watch her butler, and when they encountered something they couldn't understand, they would explain it to her. The two of them studied very seriously. Butlers were not good for women in ancient times. Technical work, if she can't manage her family well, then she will be looked down upon in a good family, especially in ancient times, sisters-in-law will compare with each other. Although Ning Yuyao doesn't like to fight, she doesn't want to be looked down upon go.

She is going to marry and become the prince's official wife in the future, and housekeeping is the hardest lesson she has learned when she was a daughter.

Spring goes and winter comes, Ningfu.

Nanny Liu rushed to the main courtyard, "Ma'am, someone from the palace has issued an order, sir, please go to the main hall as soon as possible."

Ning Yuyao followed Hui Niang to the hall of the main courtyard. As soon as Ning Yuyao saw the inner eunuch in dark blue clothes, Eunuch Li, who was currently being used by the emperor, looked at the secondary posture. , politely said to the father-in-law holding the whisk: "Eunuch Li, please declare the decree."

"En." Eunuch Li put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Your family is blessed, you have raised a good girl!"

Eunuch Li got up leisurely to announce the decree, Father Ning and his family hurriedly knelt down to listen to the decree, it seemed that the prince was waiting anxiously, Father Ning thought to himself, now that Ning Yuyao was only a month old, he was waiting for the majesty's decree.

"By God's blessing, the emperor said... the daughter of Ning's Yuyao, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, was born in a famous family, adoring honor and beauty, gentle and beautiful, with both virtue and beauty... Today, she is married to the regent king as the first princess... This is it."

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Father Ning took the imperial decree with both hands and put it away.He took the wedding money and gave it to Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Li accepted it with a smile. He knew that Princess Jin was the appointed regent princess by his side, and he would not offend him.

Immediately afterwards, the day when Ning Yuyao and the regent got married was also fixed by Qin Tianjian - March [-]th of the second year, an auspicious day for marriage.

On the day before the wedding, it was the dowry and the bed. Early in the morning, Hui Niang led a mighty group of servants to the Prince Regent's Mansion to deliver the dowry. , The dowry was carried out from the Ning Mansion, and it looked like a winding red silk embroidered with gold thread from a distance.

The first to carry the dowry were the two jade ruyis given by the Queen Mother. The pure white and warm suet jade was placed in the bright red silk with a faint halo. It was so white and moist that it seemed to be able to Everyone was amazed by the fresh texture.

Then, 18 yuan of new tiles and 18 yuan of adobe wrapped in red paper were neatly placed.The long list in the middle is filled with headgear, clothing materials and so on.
